Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Gnosis. I actually like the two jobs and will keep them even if we R or D. One is with a company that puts on running races. You go in on Saturday, put down barricades, put up tents and all that stuff.

Then the next day you clean it all up. $175 per day. I was in killer shape by the end of summer, too. I'm talking washboard abs -- damn hernia surgery slowed me up.

If we R, then I can pour all of the money into cleaning up debt and will be able to do even more races because I wouldn't have to worry about whether I have my kids. If we D, same thing, pay off debt, but also save for a trip to California in 2011.

In the winter, I've been doing the scorebook for a local high school basketball team. A friend of mine is the HS basketball coach and another is the AD.

That's fun. I run into guys I played against years ago. I love basketball in general. The coach and I go out to eat after.

I also do some freshman games and girls games. The sophomore girls coach is very cute and unattached and I'd ask her out -- if I wasn't married.
